The Palestinian resistance factions, the leader Nour Al -Battawi, who was martyred and the resistance, was killed by the Israeli occupation, after their blockade inside the house of eastern Nablus, calling on the West Bank youth to escalate the resistance and hit the occupier with “specific and painful” operations.
The Islamic Jihad movement said, in a statement, that Al -Bitawi, the leader of the Jenin Battalion of the Al -Quds Brigades, the movement’s military wing, was martyred on Friday in a “heroic confrontation with the occupation forces” in Nablus while chasing and besieging him.
She added, “We are proud of the martyrdom of our leaders and Mujahideen in defense of the nation’s sanctities and an expression of the steadfastness of our people in the face of massacres and the policies of displacement and annexation … We confirm that, with all the resistance forces in our people, we continue to confront this criminality until the response of the aggression.”
Al -Battawi was described as the most wanted by the occupation forces, which sought to assassinate the resistance leaders in the West Bank cities and their camps.

“Miserable attempts”
For its part, the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) said, in a statement, that “the policy of the occupation by assassinating the resistance fighters and the escalation of its targeting to our people in the West Bank is miserable attempts to target the state of resistance in the West Bank, which recently witnessed qualitative operations such as the shooting process near Jenin and the run -over in Hebron.”
She added that, as she mourns “the two resisting martyrs, Nour Abdel Karim Al -Battawi, from Jenin, and Ghaith Abdel -Nabi ruled from Nablus, who rose during a heroic clash after their siege inside a house in the popular housing area east of Nablus”, it confirms that “the assassination of the resistance fighters in the West Bank will only increase its revolutionary youth except to insist on the confrontation.”

Hamas called on the Palestinians throughout the West Bank to “embrace the resistance and be a help and support for them,” and also called on “the youth of the West Bank to escalate the resistance and hit the occupier and its settlers with qualitative and painful operations of the criminal fascist occupation that was exaggerated in the blood of the people of Gaza.”
